It was shockingly easy:

  • Fancy mini-itx case (200 bucks)
  • New AM5 CPU (250ish bucks)
  • Compatible mini-itx motherboard (350 bucks)
  • SSD and RAM (120ish bucks)
  • GPU (200 bucks)
  • Low profile cooler (45 bucks)
  • Power supply (180 bucks)
  • Taxes (100ish bucks)

Turns out mini-itx builds with new hardware will kick your wallet’s ass.

Yeah, I love small builds but the mini ITX components can get pricey. Counterintuitively, the big RGB gaming mega tower form factor can end up saving you money.
